This small simple jar with everted rim is entirely plain.

This is a base fragment of a ringfoot on which only a small part of the fine dentate stamped and cutout design remains. The only well attested motif is PK481, consisting of dentate stamped semicircles and intervening lime-filled cutouts along the base.

This well-fired, unrestricted bowl is represented only by a single sherd. The interior of the rim as well as the lip are decorated with zone marker RZ4D-2R-1. On the exterior, zone marker RZ4D-3R-1 begins immediately below the lip, followed by motif PK179 and then the main motif PK182, bounded on the bottom by zone marker RZ4D-4R-1.

This rim is from a shallow, unrestricted bowl. The lip is decorated with zone marker RZ4D-4R-1. Much of the exterior surface is eroded, but the main motif is PK61, and variant of the zigzag design, and there is a fragment of what appears to be motif GS679 below this.

This is the carinated portion only of a carinated jar, lacking the upper rim as well as the base, but displaying a representative section of a well-executed and complex exterior fine dentate-stamped design. The upper part of the design is motif PK435, below which are two rows of zone marker RZ4D-5-1, touching each other. The lower motif, PK516, consists of vertical dentate lozenges with complex curvilinear geometric motifs below. The fine dentate stamping is well filled in with lime. Unfortunately the low-fired sherds underwent substantial cracking during drying after excavation from their waterlogged context.

This unrestricted bowl is undecorated on the interior. The exterior decoration begins on the outer lip edge with motif A71, stamped lozenges, followed by zone marker RZ4D-3R-2, then motif PK482, two rows of zone marker RZ4D-3R-1, and finally motif PK483, sets of undulating stamped lines. The dentate stamps are fine and needle-like, closely packed together.

This single sherd appears to be a fragment of a cylinder stand, as indicated by the pronounced angular ridge running horizontally, characteristic of cylinder stands. It is noteworthy that the ridge was formed by the juncture of two clay slabs pinched together, evident on the interior. The decoration is quite complex, with motif PK291, a curvilinear design only incompletely represented on this sherd, above the horizontal ridge. The upper surface of the ridge carries zone marker RZ4D-3-2 followed by motif M19-1-3, downward pointing stamped triangles. The underside of the ridge has motif GS624, sets of stamped bars, and below this is motif PK302, consisting of diamond-shaped cutouts with dentate-stamped lines and stamped circles in the intervening spaces. All of the stamping and cutouts have been filled in with lime.

A plain jar with everted rim; dark gray fabric.

This is the rim of a particularly low-fired (and hence quite crumbly) unrestricted bowl. The interior is undecorated, while the flat lip carries motif PK127, parallel groups of slanting stamped lines. On the exterior, the decoration begins with motif GS597, sets of vertical and slanting stamped lines, bounded below by zone marker RZ4D-5R-1. Immediately below this the main motif is PK479, a variant of the zigzag design.

This is the neck and partial rim of a large, plainware jar. The lip has been broken off but enough remains to indicate an outturned, right-angle lip flange.
